Hero Rescue Dog Recovering After Saving Owner From House Fire

Che, a 14-year-old lab-chow mix, is being hailed as a hero after reportedly saving his owner from a raging house fire in Philadelphia that almost took both of their lives.

“She must have tried to get out and lost consciousness,” Diana Heiney, of Wayne, Pennsylvania, a lifelong friend of the dog's owner, told ABC News. “He laid on top of her and barked until the neighbor’s called the fire department.”
